BRILLOUIN-BASED DISTRIBUTED BEND FIBER SENSOR AND METHOD FOR USING SAME

摘要

A Brillouin-based distributed bend fiber sensor and method for using the Brillouin-based distributed bend fiber sensor are described herein. In one example, the Brillouin-based distributed bend fiber sensor is specially configured to measure a temperature distribution (ΔT), a bend angle β, and a bend radius R along a deployed fiber (e.g., four-core fiber).
